About 300 conservative
faithful threw theirsupport
behind the 50 year old Zurich
area chicken farmer who has
held the riding since 1965.
McKinley told his support-
ers he was relieved 'the
Trudeau gevernrnent had
finally called an election. He.
said the Liberal government
had cost taxpayers dearly
with its massive Overspend-

He said Canadiansih:ad made
ii obvious it wanted govern-
ment to concentrate on the
grass roots needs of the
country but Trudeau was
"too arrogant and too feeble
to listen".
He said voters had made
their "disenchantment" with
government policy known in
six bye elections in the
country and would • do it again
in the federal ' election. He
promised "organized, and

McKinley was supported
at the nomination session by
three other Conservative: •
Members, finance critic Sin-
clair Stevens of York Simcoe,
Dr. Bruce Halliday of Oxford
and. Bill Jarvis of Perth.
Steve ,s•told the gathering
"it wasa. great time to be a
Tory". He .said the country
was going through a trend
and that trend "was going
our way, running against the
emporer, Pierre Elliott Trud-
eau.
The finance critic .-said
Trudeau had polarized his.
political campaign on nation-
al unity and all but ignored
major issues such as "Rising
prices, government spending
and deficits and unemploy-
ment. He said it was time for
a responsible approach,. todo
what has to be done to battle
inflation.
Stevens told the gathering
Canada has the potentiat to
be number one in the econ-
omic world but somehow the
country is "not functioning:
properly". He said part of
the problems affecting na-
tional unity are economic
pointing •out that in pros-
perous times when Canadi-
ans can enjoy a good style of
life many of the problems
causing disunity will dissap-
pear.
He said a conservative
governmentis eager to begin.

spective aimed at curbing
government spending and
establishing a balanced bud-
get. He said a Joe Clark
government would establish
spending ceilings on govern-
ment agencies forcing ;those
`agencies ;'to priorize spend-
ing. Once that ceiling • is
reached cuts would have t�
be made by those agencies, to
stay within budget. '
He explained; that the
Perspective . would enable
government to take regular
,,looks at government pro-
grams to determine their
.benefit.'`t
He said another program
that may .....save millions of
dollars is trimming the civil
`service.' He Said about 25,000
civil servants retire or leave
